Literacy Integration – 1

1A. Physical Warm Up:

Teaching artist Roxanne Rojas introduces the idea of dance literacy to the students. These activities increase focus while also expanding vocabulary. The teacher also goes over her expectations and rules for this class.

1C. Modeling:

The teacher introduces the idea of patterns to the class. She teaches the students certain moves (these moves come from the vocabularies that are introduced earlier) and teaches them to dance with this certain pattern.

1D. Guided Practice:

Students are given a chance to create their own pattern in which they can only use vocabulary words that have been taught in this class. Students are separated into two different groups while doing this activity.
